Support the project
Let your singers request from their phones — $10/month
Give your shows a professional edge with the SongBoss online request system. Your subscription includes:
- Your own personal request URL — singers scan a QR code or tap a link and browse, search and request songs right from their phone. No app to install.
- Singer History — regulars see their past songs and can request them from their phone. “What did I sing last time?” answered instantly.
- Seamless SongBoss integration — requests drop straight into your rotation with fair queuing handled by IntelliQ.
- WCIS integration — if you are an existing WCIS user, you can plug straight into SongBoss for seamless integration. Requests appear in SongBoss straight from WCIS.
One flat price, no tiers, no lock-in — and every subscription directly funds development of the free, open-source desktop app. You keep your shows running; you keep SongBoss alive.
